If I were you, my next stop would be at a chiropractor's office. There are several different types of arthritis, some of which are treatable, some not. But it may be that what is causing your problem is ultimately an issue with your spine, something that a chiro may be able to help you with without surgery or medication.
Maybe what you're doing right now (meds) is the best that can be done, but regardless, the meds are only reducing the salience of symptoms, not addressing the fundamental cause of your pain.
I've been seeing a chiro for six weeks now, and it's the best thing I've ever done for my general health or my officiating career.
